"And Human Sovereign Su Muzhe!
" The Village Chief stepped from the ranks, hand resting on his sword but not drawing it, and declared in a ringing voice. The other Human Sovereigns all turned to look, envy written plainly on their faces. To report one's name right on the heels of the First Ancestor at a moment like this was truly a display of unmatched prestige.
Who would have thought little Su would snatch the advantage first?
To announce one's name after him would be like a mere foil, robbed of all glory. The Village Chief could not help but feel a touch of smugness, immensely pleased within: "These old codgers must be dying of jealousy!
" Just then, from the opposite side, the Grand Venerable Divine Marquis laughed heartily and said, "Human Sovereign Shen Wu, I have heard of him. Back in the day, the Yin Son of Heaven scared him so badly he wet his pants and fled as a deserter. As for Human Sovereign Su Muzhe, never heard of him!
" The other Human Sovereigns burst into laughter, casting gloating glances at the Village Chief.
The Village Chief's face flushed with shame. He said, "The Perfected One has no self; the Divine One has no merit; the Sage has no name. It is only natural he does not know my name.
After today's battle, my name will ring loud indeed.
. .
" The crowd roared with laughter. The Village Chief's face turned crimson, and he stammered, "You pack of undying old buzzards, after today's battle, I shall be renowned throughout the world.
.
. " The Grand Venerable Divine Marquis bellowed, "Lads!
Stir your divine weapons and level Jade Cliff Pass! Only by reaching the shore do we have a way to live! " Whoosh— Before Jade Cliff Pass, a million divine weapons soared into the air, great and small alike, like clouds blotting out the sky and sun, flying toward Jade Cliff Pass! The thirty-nine army marquises of the Southern Heavens had suffered a crushing defeat, struck by the counterattack of the Red Emperor Qi Xiayu and then set upon by the forces of the Red Emperor, the Bright Emperor, and Yanyu the Southern Emperor.
To save their lives, they had abandoned all baggage trains and heavy artillery, keeping only the divine weapons in their hands, fleeing light and desperate. Along the way, who knows how many comrades they had left behind to hold the rear.
Only these million gods and demons had escaped with their lives.
Yet even so, they outnumbered the Jingping Deityfolk led by the Human Sovereign Hall by tenfold!
Moreover, those who had survived the Southern Sea battlefield were the elite of the elite, each possessed of extraordinary skill. A million divine weapons took to the air, erupting with dense, incomparable divine light, charging toward Jade Cliff Pass.
The spectacle was so magnificent, so breathtakingly shocking! The First Ancestor Human Sovereign's body trembled, and a celestial palace leapt forth behind him.
Upon the Lingxiao Hall, his Primordial Spirit sat upon the imperial throne, then abruptly rose to his feet.
"The sun circles mid-heaven, flowing through all ages! " The power of his Imperial Throne realm erupted. His vast divine ability transformed into a massive vortex, sweeping up the million divine weapons, sending them howling around Jade Cliff Pass. The might of those divine weapons burst forth, yet within this torrent of weapons they struck and clashed against one another, exploding with thunderous booms!
The First Ancestor Human Sovereign's divine ability was called the Heaven-Earth Seal. His cultivation was exceedingly profound, and when his mana drove his divine ability, it was truly terrifying to behold!
The million Southern Heaven gods and demons before Jade Cliff Pass were horrified at the sight. Yet in the next instant, more than a dozen figures shot skyward, charging toward the First Ancestor Human Sovereign atop the cliff of Jade Cliff Pass.
